On Today's Episode: Mark Kaufman is the founder and chairman of Athletico Physical Therapy, a successful national company with local Iowa roots.

Mark shares with me how he started with a single rehabilitation center in Chicago back in 1991, his unique insight into how camaraderie motivates rehabilitation, and his perspective from being on the front lines of the new college athletics landscape. Mark also explores how he and his team grew the company to nearly one thousand locations, the ever-changing science (and business) of athletic training, and Mark shares what real success means to him.
